The last few studies I saw showed no correlation between saturated fats and CVD.

There is a great body of evidence showing an association between high SAFA intakes and CVD and until there is unequivocal evidence proving it to be wrong I feel that the smart thing to do is go with the consensus view and keep your SAFA intake as low as possible while consuming a nutritionally adequate diet.

The upper class and posh society has been known for many eons to be soft and fatter than the other classes of society.

Remember, how it was thought that muscular tone was something of the poor and masses?

The upper classes were originally the warrior class of society. They held that position by virtue of their ability to defend the weaker elements of society. The advent of professional armies were in part to blame for the change in this status. And inbreeding.

But we're talking centuries not eons.
